INFOGRAPHIC - An Introduction to DeSpace


What is DeSpace

DeSpace, or Decentralized Space, refers to the application of blockchain technology and decentralized principles to space exploration. By leveraging blockchain's transparent, secure, and decentralized nature, DeSpace aims to democratize access to space resources and data, promote international collaboration, and enable innovative solutions for space-related challenges.

DeSpace Use Case Examples

Satellite Data Management

Decentralized satellite management leverages blockchain to provide transparent, secure access to open source satellite data, improving accuracy for applications like weather forecasting, agriculture, and disaster response.

Innovative funding mechanisms

Innovative funding mechanisms like fundraising DAOs, IP-NFTs, and Quadratic Funding, enable broader participation in DeSpace efforts by allowing individuals and communities to invest in and support space missions.

Coordination & Collaboration Tools

Blockchain tools, like DAOs, facilitate decentralized, transparent decision-making and resource allocation, enhancing collaboration among stakeholders and advancing DeSpace initiatives through collective governance.

Space Debris Tracking

Blockchain can enhance space debris tracking efforts by providing a means for real-time open source data sharing on space debris, while developing new incentive mechanisms to promote sustainable space exploration.

Project Examples

LunCo

LunCo is building a suite of open-source applications, including a simulation tool designed for planning space missions, with a focus on lunar settlements.

MoonDAO

MoonDAO aims to democratize space access by funding and collaborating on space exploration projects. It’s ultimate “moon shot” is to create a self-sustaining decentralized lunar settlement.

Cosmos for Humanity

Cosmos for Humanity is an NGO dedicated to the sustainable development of space activities. It promotes the preservation of the orbital environment by addressing space pollution issues.
